WildCats Conservation Alliance

Since 2015, Dublin Zoo has been supporting a number of conservation projects for Amur tigers through the WildCats Conservation Alliance (formerly known as ALTA – Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance). Currently, Dublin Zoo is supporting a project run by the Phoenix Fund (a Russian non-governmental organisation established to conserve the biodiversity of the Russian Far East). This project is focused on two main areas – anti-poaching and environmental awareness activities.

Dublin Zoo also participates in European breeding programme for Amur tigers.
